Hello I just downloaded the source to cdecl-2.5 from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/c//cdecl-2.5.tar.gz

cdecl/c++decl is a very old program for converting compilable C declarations
and typecasts from descriptive English phrases and back again.

my development directory looks like the following:

[quote author="directory"]
XETEX AT ANDY /cygdrive/c/Users/XETEX/Desktop/temp/cdecl-2.5/cdecl-2.5
$ ls
Makefile  c++decl.1  cdecl.c   cdgram.y  readline  testset
README    cdecl.1    cdgram.c  cdlex.l   termcap   testset++
[/quote]

Note that I had to go retrieve the readline 5.2 src and termcap 1.3.1 src as
they were not included in the download.

I attempted to compile cdecl using make and gcc (as installed per packages
available from cygwin) and I received the following error:

[quote author="make"]
XETEX AT ANDY /cygdrive/c/Users/XETEX/Desktop/temp/cdecl-2.5/cdecl-2.5
$ make
yacc cdgram.y && mv y.tab.c cdgram.c
conflicts: 7 shift/reduce
lex cdlex.l && mv lex.yy.c cdlex.c
/bin/sh: lex: command not found
make: *** [cdlex.c] Error 127
[/quote]

I opened Makefile and discovered that lex is not included in Cygwin; however
flex is included in Cygwin.  So I changed the references to lex within
Makefile to flex, and tried to compile again using the make command.

This time I received the following error:

[quote author="make"]
flex cdlex.l && mv lex.yy.c cdlex.c
gcc -s -O2 -DUSE_READLINE -o c++decl cdecl.c -lreadline -ltermcap

[/quote]

How can I get cdecl/c++decl to compile on window or cygwin?  Is there a
precompiled binary port for windows?  Has cdecl been replaced by some other
newer tool?

Thank you, 
    Andrew J. Leer
